Field Services

DTE’s field services are focused in the areas of biological and natural resource assessment, ecosystem restoration and management. We conduct services in wildlife and fisheries management, water quality analysis, erosion control, flora and fauna survey, habitat enhancement, and site mitigation. DTE also operates a landscaping branch, providing property improvement and maintenance services.
